19 Yellow Potion

"Why didn't you tell me that your godfather can cook?!"

"You never asked!"

We are sitting at the dining table enjoying what Wes had cooked for us. He made pineapple fried rice with shrimp. I had half a pineapple cut vertically acting as a plate filled with fried rice and jumbo shrimp. The way Wes presented it was amazing! I never knew this kind of combination would taste so good, especially with seafood.

Bree with a mouthful asked Wes, "Where did you get this recipe from? I must know!"

"I learned it while I was out in Korea when I was using them in potions."

"Amazing! What kind of potion did you use pineapple in?!"

"A Yellow Love potion," Wes replied.

I quickly spat out my food because of what Wes had said about wanting a wedding. He would not purposely force me to get with her?.. Would he?! I am starting to get a bad feeling about this!

Wes looked at me and asked, "What?! You didn't like it?"

"No! It's not that! I choked a bit! That's all!"

"If you say so," Wes said not believing me.

"When are you going to teach us that one?" Ask Bree.

"In time. I have only taught that to one person and never again."

"Why never again? Is it hard to do?"

"The person that I taught it to was only supposed to use it for himself, but he turned it into a business and started to abuse the potion. His clients would come back to him angry that the potion didn't work the way it was supposed to. What he didn't know is that I purposely left out an ingredient so it would not work for him whenever he made it. He did come and tell me something about it, but I told him that it was what he gets for being greedy and charging people $2,000 dollars per potion."

"How much do you usually charge?" asked Bree.

"$200, but I use that potion as one of my last resorts. I don't like to use it because it works too damn well."

"So, what ended up happening to the guy?"

"He had to leave town because too many people wanted their money back, but he had already spent the majority of it. Some people went as far as to wanting him dead."

Bryanna lends in close to me and said, "Once he teaches it to me, I will use it to make Regan fall in love with you."

"Don't even try it." I mumbled, "Because knowing you, your ass would do it!"

Bryanna asked Wes, "Is there a way to break that spell?"

"This is one of those spells that can't be broken. I made sure of that one."

I glared at Bree, "You better definitely not do it!"

"I have more food over here if you want more," Wes told Bree.

As soon as she got up Wes gets beside me and says, "Do you need me to use the pineapple potion on Bryanna for you?"

I literally choked on my food this time, "What?! No! Why would you do that?! Especially since it can't be broken!"

"It will just make things easier between you two to just fall in love. And it can be broken, you just have to be me."

"Forget it! I already told you that I don't have feelings for her!"

Wes patted my shoulder, "Sure you don't. Keep telling yourself that bud."

Why does he keep insisting that I do?! Does he know something that I don't?

Bryanna came back to sit next to me, "How many spells and potions do you know how to do?"

My eyes widened because I didn't know how to respond to that. I turn to look at Wes over my right shoulder hoping that he would bail me out.

"Go ahead, tell her. It's not like I am going to get mad about my two apprentices sharing spell work together."

That was not what I wanted to hear Wes say.

"I only know that one potion that Wes taught us yesterday. I mainly know the purpose and usages of different herbs and oils."

"Really?! I thought that you would have learned more since you are always with him."

"Mainly, I am just learning how to prepare myself and studying stuff. Which is also the reason that I have only fought with one demon; they're tough without the proper training."

I had a feeling that Wes wanted me to tell her my secret, but I just felt like it was not time yet. I would not even know how to tell her.

"So, when do you think that Regan will come to join us? I would like to finally meet the love of your life." Wes asked while smirking at me.

Bryanna with excitement in her voice asked, "Can you tell if Paul and Regan are meant to be?"

Wes with a smile nodded.

"So! Are they?!"

"I don't like to reveal stuff like that. It takes the magic out of things."

"How about you just tell me?! I won't say a thing."

Wes shook his head, "Sorry, but I can't tell you that either. I don't want to change the future."

With sadness in her voice, "I guess…"

I cleared my throat, "Now then, back to your question Wes before I was rudely interrupted, I don't know. I never pushed her to give me an answer. She told me that she will think about it and give me an answer later."

"It would have been better if she were here yesterday, that way all three of you learned that potion." Wes cracked a smile, "You should tell her to come before I give the potion to the lady so she can see first-hand how it works."

"Why don't we just wait until she decides if she wants to do this?"

"That isn't fair! How come she gets to decide, and I didn't?! You basically forced me into it." Bree told me.

Wes instigated, "Yeah, why aren't you going to force her like you did Bryanna?!"

"Hey! Whose side are you on?!" I yelled at Wes. "I didn't force anybody!"
